Abstract: |
Chapter 9 "Cartographic Generalization" addresses generalization, which is perhaps the most important transformation in Cartography, primarily because the scale of the map being composed is smaller than that of the cartographic elements recorded in the database. Therefore, generalization precedes cartographic representation. This chapter describes the generalization of thematic layers and proposes methods for applying specific generalization operators. It provides a detailed presentation and application of the generalization of linear data, the "Principle of Selection," and finally, methods for the analytical assessment of the results of linear data generalization.
